What is interesting is that there's a plant that curls up in a tight ball when there's no rain. When rain does come, it opens up and becomes green. It is called Selaginella lepidophylla. It is a species of desert plant in the spikemoss family. Also known as the "Resurrection Plant". We take our's out every Passover Sunday.
I believe we need to keep our new birth in Yahusha Hamashia well watered with the living water. We also need the Light of Yahusha Hamashia. If we don't, our new heart will become a heart of stone and not Spiritual flesh. The light and the compassion would become lost, useless in spreading the Gospel.
